An Israel media report, picked up worldwide, claims Israel, for the first time, has given supposed Palestinian Authority land to a kibbutz whose land was within Israel before the Six-Day War in 1967.

Haaretz reported last week that the land in question was given by Israeli authorities to Kibbutz Meirav, located southwest of Beit She’an in the Jordan Valley. The newspaper reported, “Israel has previously built roads on and given Palestinian land in the West...
